Second all the fishing suggestions, Waller mill would be my first suggestion for out of towners. My favorite two restaurants are Oceans and ale's Great seafood, and drinks then there is Sal's by victor great Italian food. Both are within a 10 min drive of Waller Mill Park.

I have had the best luck with a small single tail grub (2.5" or 3" from mister twister). They are easy to find near the crappie baits.

It could be done, but I think you will be disappointed with accuracy and/or distance. I use my 7'2" or 6'10"MH for that stuff.

I don't think so, its a little too stiff, the lightest I go is a 3/8" jig with craw trailer, or if I'm running a Trig with an 1/8 oz sinker it is with a larger heavier worm 12" (ol monster) or full size creature bait.

I have all three of these Exprides, and if I had to pick one all around I would choose the 7'2" Heavy. The 7'3 XXH is pretty stiff I only frog and punch with a big weights with it. The MH is great for smaller T rigs and jigs but not around super heavy cover.

I am bringing all the rods, but the first three I get out most everywhere I go. (Chick river, Pamonkey River, Lake Anna) I adapt from there, I will switch to a T-rig on any of these three depending on how big I want to go. 7'2" Zodias ML - Under-spin with 2.8-3.3 swimbait 6'10" Expride MH- 3/8 oz.

My buddy has this rod, he uses it to skip 1/2" jigs under docks. From messing with it a little my self I think it would be the best option I have seen for a spinning rod to throw frogs on. With some 40 lb braid I think it would send a 3/8" frog pretty good.

Zoom Ol'Monster T-rigged not pegged most of the time.

During the summer months I use Zoom Ol,monster worms in red bug, plum, and plum apple. Occasionally I will use Junebug if I'm in more marshy waters. (clear but dark) My favorite color for anything else soft plastic is watermelon candy, just don't have the confidence in it in a worm.

For smaller hooked jigs I use my 6-10 MHF Expride. For my larger hooked or 1/2" oz jigs I use my 7-2 HF Expride. When I get to my heaver 3/4 oz or heavy wire hooked jigs I use my 7-5 Orrochi Brailest. They double for lots of other options as well, I find them all to be fairly versatile.

What he said..... but the right answer is suffix 832😄

I have the 6-10 Expride and i agree its great for topwater and jerkbaits. I have a Orichi Brailist and its a great rod, but i often reach past it for an Expride. Don't think either would be a mistake though.

Agreed with the purple! I have purple on my jig 98% of the time between the jig or the trailer. Have my best days outside of jigs with purple worms, and some trace of purple on my chatterbaits. Those three things account for over 90% of my fishing.
